Tips & Tricks: Edit Revit Component Thumbnail Image
We are back with some helpful (hopefully) tips & tricks for you to use. Have you ever clicked on a Revit component before to see what the preview image is because the name of the file is “tub”… but it’s a small hard to see plan view? Well you can change that! Check out this…
Revit Tips & Tricks: Quick Component Fix
Have you ever downloaded a component that looked like what you needed? After you open the file and see there are existing parameters you think “Heck yes!

The HAYNE Way: Family “Go-To” Parameters
Hello friends! Thanks for joining us today. We are still waiting for the infinite library of components to be generated for us to use but until then we are creating new components to use in our model. With that we noticed there are a couple of parameters we always start with. We thought we would…

Hey friends! Here@HAYNE we are Revit fans (with mixed emotions about some things) and thought it would be fun to rate the standard component library it comes with. Some categories are great while others could use some changes and then there ones I’ve never opened. We rated them out of 5 stars and zero star…
Software Spotlight: Revit Render vs Enscape
Welcome back! As we continue to work in (and love) Enscape, we thought it would be interesting to compare render views from Enscape and Revit. Before using Enscape we would buy credits and send views from Revit to render in the cloud so we could continue to work as it rendered. This was helpful to…
Project Spotlight: Sierra Towers Cabinetry
Our Sierra Towers project is moving into construction, and as we start demolition to field verify some existing conditions (like drain pipe and mechanical ductwork locations) we spent some time refining our cabinetry designs. As we’ve talked about previously, our current work-flow is to create assemblies with individual components. This project is cabinetry heavy and…

The pool house is a fun entertainment covered outdoor area with some awesome arches to frame the space. It’s located right…
Tips & Tricks: Calculating Minimum Plumbing Fixtures Required with REVIT
With a few commercial projects in development here at Hayne, we have been spending time reviewing the Building Code (thank you UpCodes!) to calculate occupancy and minimum plumbing fixtures required. When we worked in AutoCad this would be completed as a separate calculation, maybe in the floor plan file or in an excel file. This…
